I have a program, that I'm trying to make portable, for personal use only, and it works fine, only problem is that it requires a registration code everytime I start it on a different computer. It's not the code that's the problem, it's just that the computer number is different everytime. Is there a way I can make it think it's always running on the same computer? Will SmithTech's drive letter work-around work?
Can somebody give me some advice please.

I have a program that does the same, but haven't had time to fix it.
You need to do a clean install and use a tracking program to see where all is installed. Also looking to see what changes happen after you register the program. Once you know where the registration info is, look at it for changes. Is it stored the same as you entered or encrypted. I've seen programs use the computer name to encrypt registration info.
Once you know where the key is, then you have some options. If it's in the reg, then the reg tweak should work.
To me it sounds like the checking is in the program. For that all you can do is crack the program and NOP over or insert a return on the registration subroutine.
Of course, all this is illegal, so don't do it....

I have a question for you.

I doubt the drive letter work around will do the trick.
What program is it?
